The 2014 election may be more than a year away, but for Democrat Kevin Strouse, Bucks County 8th Congressional District challenger, there's apparently no time like the present to hit incumbent Republican Mike Fitzpatrick over the government shutdown.

I mean, who knows if anyone will even remember this a year from now.

Strouse held a press conference Thursday in Bristol, Bucks County to rap Fitzpatrick for his support for House Republicans' budget proposal that linked a continuing resolution funding government operations to a one-year delay in the implementation of Obamacare, setting off the shutdown.

After his Sept. 20 vote for a previous Republican budget extention that would have defunded Obamacare entirely, Fitzpatrick sent out a fundraising appeal, touting his vote as a step to "hold the President accountable for his failing healthcare law by defunding it."
